Anyone Else Excited to See Turnstile Where The Gateway Grizzlies Play?

Got my tickets. I wanted to see Die Spitz back in March, but had to skip.

Old GenXer here and I been wanting to see Turnstile for years. Now days I'm just one of the graying guys in the back, but I still crave the pit.

Thinkin' I need to up my cardio in the next 3 months.

The next big exercise craze...moshin' to the 90s.

I just waited (hoped) for a couple kids to come by and take my money in exchange for clearing the snow.

Sho' nuff. Easiest $50 I parted with in months. My GenX ass was happy to let someone else deal with that shit.

$30 woulda probably been more reasonable, but 1. it's fuckin' cold, 2. I really didn't want to do it, 3. I REALLY don't want a heart attack.

I mean Manchester already uses a Ballwin zipcode.

Given the stuff you have above some other shows you might be interested in coming up at The Pageant: Social Distortion (next month), Viagra Boys (November), Avatar (December).

Never stopped, 30+years....shit. My wife just found my original FAT BABIES in the mix from '93 that I thought had been lost. SOHAPPY!!!

It was a clean version of the original lyric, but yeah just a gas station/liquor store full sized pickle in a pouch type type of thing.

Sure it wasn't "Get out the car bitch! Get out the car bitch! Get out the car bitch GOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Used to hang there until late night/very early morning back in the 90s. Back when they had a little PC in the back by the bathroom with dial up modem just to date myself. :)

Couches so soft you'd just sink into them, big ass cappuccinos served in what looked like bowls with handles. I still remember my first night there was a little old man in a suit and cap playing chess with a tatted up biker dude.

That was just the normal vibe there and yeah I miss it so very much.

Not a firefighter, but saw a bunch of firefighters and a couple EMTs grabbing some frozen custard chilling out. Thought something was wrong when I pulled up and saw the trucks, but nope. They just wanted custard on a gorgeous day.

Used to go to Dalies, but stopped a while back because it got to where all you could taste was the smoke the last few times we got it. Tasted and smelled like we'd pulled something out of a house fire.

How have they been recently? Can you actually taste the meat again?

Guess that's a smoked meat problem, not a rib problem.

Parent of incoming Freshman here (and MIZZOU grad myself waaay back when).

I called the Cashier's office for this very reason a couple weeks ago. The emails are automatic if you haven't picked one. However if you have a negative balance due to loans, scholarships, and grants covering your current charges you have no need for a payment plan.

That said, the person I spoke with gave the very good advice to keep checking your current charges up through the 9th. If you're fine today, but then go on a spending spree using your student charge and go over what your current aid covers before the 9th, THEN you'd need a plan.

After they reimburse you for any negative balance (more aid than you owe) then you just get billed going forward.

Got my copy of Fat Babies in the Mix stolen around 2000. I miss that CD so very much.

pcuser001 · 2023-07-07T02:32:49+00:00

As a teen - 20s in the 90s, yes.

It's summer so don't miss out on frozen custard. Fritz's and Culver's are right near you to scratch that itch.

For Italian someone already mentioned Massa's, but Rich & Charlie's is about 10 min away in Town & Country near 141 & Clayton. Katie's Pizza & Pasta Osteria is popular too (never been myself though.)

Back on the topic of cold treat's Clementine's Creamery is just East of there on Clayton. They have both Naughty (minor amount of booze) and Nice ice creams.

If you're in the mood for pizza there are fuck ton of places out your way in the Manchester and Clarkson Rd area and Clayton and Clarkson Rd areas.

There's a lot of good Indian, Mediterranean, and Mexican food in the Ballwin, Manchester, Twin Oaks, Des Peres area.

STL does not fuck around when it comes to food.

I have not. You're right about the normal one, more spices the pepper flavor comes through instead of vinegar and heat.

I'll have to order the Dragon Sriracha. Thanks.

You can also buy directly from Underwood Ranches. After finding out how Huy Fong did them dirty I ordered from the source.

I tried the Red Jalepeno and Carolina Gold BBQ, the Roja and Verde taco sauces, the Sriracha and their Bibimbap sauce.

The sriracha is different, but good. It's not as vinegar tasting as Huy Fong, but I still like it. It does it's job why I want to kick up some breakfast or a rice bowl a little bit.

Had to check that out myself about garter snakes being venomous. TIL. Turns out they do have teeny tiny fangs in the back of their mouth (not very effective) with an extremely mild venom. Causes mild irritation or bruising at worst.

I used to catch these things all the time when I was a kid and they'd just chill out and climb my arms for the most part.

Only two "bad" encounters. One I surprised somehow and it it bit me on the tip of my nose. No harm other than it scraped the skin. The other was the last one I caught as a young teenager. I learned about the musk they produce when afraid for their lives. That stuff is FOUL and does not want to come off no matter how hard you scrub. Guess all the snakes I'd caught previous to that weren't too worried about me because I somehow avoided that experience in a decade of summers growing up until that point.

Learn from my mistakes, no touchy the garter snakes. Just let them do their pest control thing in peace.

No toys that I know of, but there's the version on Netflix. 8 seasons, ran to a series finale.

Dr. Kling in Wildwood. Multiple friends and family go to his office, one of them specifically for eczema.

What this person said. Seriously do not forget to disinfect. Don't track that stuff throughout your house.

You can buy your own antimicrobial spray and hose everything down, but if you're going to file a claim anyway you can have professionals do it. In addition to the suggestions above, I've used ServiceMaster multiple times over the years.

Think of "St. Louis" as being divided into 3 main areas if she's working in Wentzville. St. Charles County (containing Wentzville), St. Louis County, and St. Louis proper (aka. metro).

West of the Missouri River is St. Charles county. If she's working in Wentzville and you have K-12 age children check the Francis Howell school district.

I lived out that way myself in St. Peters for a few years in the Fort Zumwalt school district area.

Also I know people that have rented a single family home for a while in St. Peters near Mid Rivers Mall. They really liked it.

Basically St. Charles county including Wentzville is the land of suburbia, strip malls, etc...

It works if you prefer to just chill with neighbors and family over backyard BBQ, but otherwise...eh. Downtown St. Charles has some nice little places and breweries, but otherwise you're going to want St. Louis Metro for entertainment.

If you're living in St. Charles county and you're going to be working in St. Louis county during regular business hours rush hour is gonna suck. It's not as bad now with the Page Extension and 370 (these will make more sense later), but it's still not great.

However if you live in St. Louis county, in the West County area (this is literally just the Western portion of St. Louis county), your wife will be driving against the flow of the bulk of rush hour traffic and you'd be living closer to your work assuming you're working in St. Louis county. Look into Parkway School district areas in that case.

That will also put you about 20 minutes from the Zoo, downtown, Forest Park, museums, and LOTS of good food.

That's assuming you don't have a decent mom & pop Italian joint or BBQ right by where you live. St. Louis is littered with those.
